East India House, March 28, 1838. WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. Mr. F. MAULE hoped his Noble Friend would postpone the third reading of the Bill until Monday, as he intended to move certain clauses in order to provide for the better protec tion of the peace, and to prevent gambling. He was sorry he had not got them engrossed, but they would be ready by the time he had named. Lord G. LENNOX said the proprietor was anxious that the peace should be preserved on the premises, and therefore he .would accede to the proposition of the Hon. Member. Mr. HALL was opposed to the principle of the Bill, and, therefore, he was opposed to any postponement. The clauses to be proposed by the Hon. Under- Secretary would not improve it ; therefore, unless the feeling of the House were against him, he would oppose the further postponement of the Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL—Many persons would vote for the Bill if the clauses were introduced, who would not do so if they were not. Therefore, it would be but justice to postpone the Bill. Captain WOOD would oppose the Bill, because it was establishing a place by Parliament which might, he would not say would, lead to some abuse. Mr. HALL would take the sense of the House against the postponement of the third reading of the Bill. Mr. F. MAULE moved that the Bill be read a second time on Monday next. Lord G. LENNOX said that a great number of gentle men had come down this afternoon to support this Bill, and had left the House under the impression that it was not to be brought on. Mr. HALL should vote against any postponement of the question, Lecause he considered to postpone the Bill would be a mere waste of time. He intended to vote against the third reading. The SPEAKER said the only question was whether the House would agree to the postponement of this measure until Monday. Mr. HA LL said he should vote against any postponement of the measure. He objected to the principle of this Bill, both with regard to its principles and its details. Mr. BYNG should certainly vote for the postponement, because his constituents, who were most interested in this No. 14.211. LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1838 PRICE sd. PUBLICATIONS.

Considerable amusement arose from the examination of a Mr. Wilmot, landlord of the Griffin Inn, Shaftesbury, who deposed to his house having been kept open in the interest of Captain Mathews at the election, and that he had distributed liquor, &c. to the value of 1501. and upwards to voters in that interest, part of which he had received from Mr. Chitty, the agent of Captain Mathews.

Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bill.—Mr. JOY addressed the Committee, wishing to know from his Learned Friend, Mr. Wool, if he had closed his case for the Bill, as far as re lated to all the evidence the Committee would have to report upon. Mr. WOOD declared in the affirmative, with the exception of the points relating to assents, dissents, and neuters. Mr. Joy and Mr. Wood held a conversation, in which the principal point of Mr. Joy was that Mr. Wood in his reply should not be entitled to dilate upon more than the new matter introduced by Mr. Joy in opening his case. Mr. Wood de murred to this, and the room was cleared. After which the Chairman announced the decision of the Committee, that Mr. Joy should open his case, and, as we understood, the Commit tee would be guided by the usual course. Mr. HOFE, the Junior CoUnsel, with Mr. Joy, then read the evidence of Mr. James Watson, from the printed Report of the Committee of last Session. O PENING of the LONDON and BIRMING HAM RAILWAY.

A S it does not appear to be generally known that the mere affixing a Newspaper Stamp on any New po riodical Publication will not entitle it, as a matter of course, to pass free by the Post, it is recommended to those who may be about to publish, for the first time, any such Paper, to submit a Copy of it, in the first instance, to the Postmaster-General, in order that it may be determined whether it is of that nature as will entitle it to pass free of Postage.

MOORSOM,}Secretaries. Wm. Rhodes was next objected to. Sophia Foster deposed that on the evening of the polling day Rhodes came to her house and said he had polled for the Blues. She remarked that he had told her he would vote for the Orange party, and take seven others with him. He said the Blues had paid him, and there fore, he went and voted for Wilberforce and James. He said the money had been given to him by Mr. Baker, a publican, who had an open house. The conversation was corroborated by Ann Webster, who %las present at the time. The Committee struck off the vote. THE NEW NOVEL BY " THE OLD SAILOR." In 3 vols. post Bvo. , With Illustrations by George Cruickshank, TOPSAIL SHEET BLOCKS. Or, THE NAVAL FOUNDLING. He was interrupted by Mr. Joy, who .bjected to some foot notes upon the amount of one or two items of figures. These were explained by Mr. Wood to have been introduced for the purpose of correcting certain unavoidable errors, which would, in spite of the closest attention on the part of the short-hand writers, creep into Reports of this nature. Mr. BALLANTYNE, the Scottish Agent, also made a similar explipation ; but the object of Mr. Joy appeared, very 'pro perly,to be, that some criterion as to corrections should be laid down for the Committee and himself to know what was to be received as evidence in the Report, and what was not. ultimately it was decided that the short- hand writer's notes, as printed in the Report, must be (whether right or wrong) considered as evidence; the Committee could not acknowledge any other.

John Appleby was the next objection. Thomas Turner deposed, that• in October last, he went to the house of the voter, who informed him that Mr. Isaac Whitaker had canvassed him for his vote. He said that he should not vote unless he was paid. Mr. Whitaker said he durst not pay before the election, but he should be paid after. The voter also stated that the same conversation had taken place with Mr. Yeale, or Mr. Youghule, and with Mr. Robinson, clerk to Messrs. Egginton. Mr. Robinson is in London. measure, instructed him to oppose it in every stage.--(Cries of " Hear, hear," and " Divide, divide.") Lord TE IG NMOUTH was perfectly inaudible. Mr. WA KLE Y said it was but just that Members should learn this was not the Bill as it was introduced into the House. Every clause in it had been altered. He went into Committee against the Bill, but he came out of the Committee more in favour of the Bill than ally other measure he had ever known. There was scarcely any clause in the Bill which, if carried into operation, would not benefit the people of this metropolis. He was surprised that his Honourable Friend, the Member for Marylebone (Mr. Hall), should have opposed the Bill, 118 his Honourable Friend had been on the Committee on the Bi.l, and every clause had been allowed to pass without a division.—( Hear.) Mr. White (the proprietor of the Hippodrome) did not ask fur leave to establish the Hippo.. dromo, which he had already done—(Hear)—but to have it put under proper regulations, and till he had come forward to ask these regulations to be made by Parliament, no opposition had been made to the establishment of the Hippodrome. The House then divided : and the numbers were— For the amendment—Ayes 226 Noes " THE SAFETY STEAM PACKET COMP ANY.

Mr. HOPE then proceeded in his reading of evidence from the Report, upon points relating to Capital Shares, Revenue, &c. ; also upon the value of shares in the market ; the secret influence of sundry shareholders ; meetings of the Railroad Company, and various other miscellaneous matters. The reading of this evidence occupied a considerable time, but from the noise and confusion of tongues in the room, the Learned Gentleman might as well have read extracts from the pages of " Gil Blas" or " Waverley." An HON. MEMBER ( Mr. Joy having suggested that no more evidence need be read) said the Committee were willing to consider the Report as having been read. Another lioN. MEMBER remarked that he had been in the room half an hour, and had not observed any one member of the Committee paying the least attention to the Junior Coun sel's reading,. Mr. JOY replied, that, if it should meet the approbation of the Committee, he could not entertain any possible objection to the fact of the inattention of the Committee, spoken of by the Learned Member, being introduced into the Report of the present Bill. The witness was under cross-examination when the Com mittee adjourned. KINSALE. The petitioners succeeded in striking off only two votes to day.

He said that the navigation of the river Mersey would be entirely destroyed if this Bill were allowed to pass. He read a letter from Sir John Rennie, giving it as his opinion, that if a bridge were erected, for the purpose of carrying the railway across the. river, it would impede the passage of vessels of any consider_ able burden up or down the river. He moved that the, Bill be read a second time this day six months. • t A conversation ensued, in which it was mooted between members of the Committee and Mr. Joy whether more evi dence from the old report should be read. Mr. Joy intimated that the remaining portion of evidence he proposed should be read was not long, but was of very great importance as related to the proceedings upon the Bill before the Committee; as, after such portion of evidence should have been read, he pro poved to examine the party who had given such evidence. The reading of such evidence was then concluded. Mr. JOY then called Agent and Manager.

By order of the Board, March 27. FREDERICK EDGELL, Sec. ANTWERP, MARCH 28.—The Journal d' Anvers says— " We have received from respectable quarters two impor tant communications, which we hasten to lay before our readers. The first states that King William considers the 24 articles as null ; though he offers to treat with Belgium on the basis of these proposals, that Prince is f a r f rom agreeing to the acceptance of the 24 articles without any modification ; he would keep Luxemburg, recover a great part of Limburg, and lay upon us at least one-half of the old debt of the Nether lands. The second communication assures us that Leopold's Government is not only resolved to reject all the demands of King William, but even to dispute the cession of Luxemburg and Limburg to Holland, as well as a payment of a portion of the debt." TO CAPITALISTS AND OTHERS. ATR. KIRKIVIAN respectfully announces to his _ A _VA_ Friends and the Public, that he has made arrangements to OPEN an OFFICE exclusively devoted to the MINING OPE RATIONS of this country, and proposes to act as a General Min ing and Mineral Agent, and to open a Mart for the purchase and sale of mineral properties, and of shares in mining undertakings. Having devoted many years to the consideration of the mining in terests of the county of Cornwall, and been in active correspond ence with some of the most experienced mining captains and mine ral viewers in the empire, he feels confident that he will be at all times in a situation to furnish information, and afford protection to the large or small capitalist, seeking for data upon which to invest their capital, and facilities in the disposition, either by sale or otherwise, of mineral properties of every description, eminently cal culated to benefit those who shall honour him with their instructions.

Since the abolition in 1826 of the restrictions on the formation of Joint Stock Banks, their establishment in the Metropolis and in many parts of the United Kingdom, has been attended with extra ordinary success. Their prosperity amply testifies that a Bank founded upon the improved principles sat forth in this Prospectus must tend to the advantage, not only of every man engaged in bu siness, but also of those who may embark a portion of their capital in this Institution. The Commercial Interests generally, but es pecially the middling Tradesmen and industrious Shopkeepers, of whom there are upwards of one hundred and thirty thousand in London and its environs, encounter vexations and difficulties in their Pecuniary transactions, which but too often paralyse and defeat the most assiduous exertions of industry. Hence the necessity of art !post which, with an amply paid-up Capital, will protect the int erests, and relieve the legitimate financial wants of the Trading Communit y. This Bank is one of Deposit, Discount, Agency, and Loan, and concentrat es within itself all the advantages derivable from the va rious existing Metropolitan Establishments' . for those several pur poses ; and i s open d a il y , i n L on d on , f rom n i ne i n th e morn i ng un til the ' e o'clock in th e even i ng , for gen e r al business, and till seven in "I, e e v vening for receipt of money due on Bills of Exchange.

Sums exceeding 1001. are subject to special agreement. — To those who wish to make Cash deposits, for a period of Six Months and upwards, Promissory Notes or Transferable Receipts 'will be given, bearing such interest as may be agreed on. Temporary Deposits are received from Foreigners and others, which w;ay be withdrawn on demand, on payment of a commission ; but no cluirge will be made if deposited one calendar month or up wards. Bills will be discounted for parties, although not Shareholders or having an a2count with the Bank, on proper recommendations or references ; and a Committee will sit daily, from eleven till two o'clock, to decide on applications for discount, which, with all other transactions with the Bank, will be considered confidential. This Bank will exchange Foreign Money, English, Scotch, and Irish local Notes, at a small rate of commission. To obviate the inconvenience and losses often experienced by persons who have no banking account, but who have occasion to ,accept Bills payable in London, such Bills may be addressed and will be paid at this Bank or at any of its Branches—the necessary funds for their liquidation being provided (post paid) in due course, together with a commission of one shilling and sixpence upon all Bills from 101. to 30/. ; two shillings and sixpence upon all Bills from 301. to 1001. ; five shillings for all Bills above that amount. For the accommodation of Persons not keeping an account with this Bank, such Cheques as are crossed, and consequently require to be passed through the hands of a Banker, will be presented for jayesent on the same terms, to the extent of 2001. ; but if exceed ang that sum, per Cent. additional will be charged. Bills of Ex change will also be presented at the same rate if within the usual limits. Merchants and others may have their accounts collected by this Bank, or its Branches in England or Ireland, on payment of a .commission.

We cannot but remark the very singular conduct of the Journals of our patriots at this moment ; if it is announced that all is settled, that Kin , William acknowledges the inde pendence of Belgium, " How happy," say they, " we shall at length be relieved from this provisional state, which has lasted too long, to the great vexation of the obstinate Orangists." If it is affirmed that nothing is less cer tain than a definitive arrangement, and that the Belgian Government itself refuses to agree to it ; "so much the better," cry they again, " we shall remain in possession of the advantages which the status quo gives us, to the great dissatis. faction of Holland, which the status quo ruins." This, it must he owned, is a strange inconsistency ; our revolutionists applaud equally the pro and the con peace, and own a defini tive arrangement of the provisional situation.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 28.—The average prices of corn in the week ending 24th March were—wheat 16f. 55c., rye 11 f. 08c. per hectolitre. Import duties 37f. 50c., and 21f. 50c. per 1,000 kilogrammes. In the Chamber of Representatives the project of law, re lating to the import duty on foreign spirituous liquors, was agreed to unanimously by the 57 members present. Letters from Berlin, dated 09 d March. —We can state, from an authentic source, that a person who left this city yes terday takes to Dr. Bunsen his recall from the post of Minister Plenipotentiary to tho Papal Government. M. Von Buell, Secretary of Legation, will act as Charge d'Affaires till the arrival of a new Ambassador. Though no official notice has been published respecting the person intended for that post, it is well known who is to fill it. The accounts from Vienna of the 18th, 19th, and 20th of March, and from Pesth of the 17th, contain additional and melancholy details of the dreadful effects of the inundation of the Danube, which had risen on the 16th to the unprecedented height of thirty feet above the usual level. It is supposed that not fewer than two hundred persons have p er i s h e d ; many more lives would probably have been lost but for the provi dential circumstance that two large steam-boats were on the spot, which were employed for three days and nights in con ve)ing people, cattle, and goods to Ofen. The damage done to Pesth alone amounts to many millions, and will be felt by the whole empire. Not only is the injury to the premises immense, but the loss of merchandise is probably greater, for it being the annual great fair, the riches of all Hun gary were, as it were, collected in Pesth. No particulars have yet been received from the country, but the devasta tion must have been dreadful there also. GOTTINGEN, March 21.—From the Cassel Allyemeine Zetuny. Our Academic Senate being summoned to elect a now Deputy, has now found a second Deputy in the person of M. Pape, of Hanover. There are various opinions here respecting the necessity of the urgency of this election ; sonic persons look on it as an unnecessary compliance on the part of the Univer sity ; and others as a judicious, seasonable, and laudable atten tion to the demands of a Government which has at all times shown a paternal care for the University. Two of our Pro fessors, Maklenbruck and Langenbeck have celebrated the close of their lectures by balls, at both of which, especially the first, the party spirit prevailing here had ample oaortunity to dispky itself. GOTTINGEN, MARCH 15. —The list of the lectures is now published, under the title of Index Scholarum, and confirms the melancholy truth that none of the vacant Professorships, and not even those that have become so by death, base been filled up. The lectures are now, for the most part concluded. BELGIAN 1U NDS a ussELs, MA RCII Actual Debt, *i per Cent.

March 25. Yesterday mornin g , b etween eight and nine o'clock, a child between elev en an d twelve years of age, named Emma Birch, the daughter of respectable parents, living at No. 4, Baynton-buildings, New-road, St. Pancras, set her clothes on fire while standing before the fireplace, and she was burnt in so dreadful a manner that she survived only about twenty minutes. Mr. WOOD stated, that although this was the fact, the sum nad not been reckoned twice over in the amount of subscriptions. Witness went on to state that there were several other sub scriptions in the same predicament ; there are 1,021 addi tional shares subscribed for since last year. Air. JOY contended that, although he did not at all attribute an intention to deceive, he really thought deception had been practised on the face of these subscription lists. Examined by an Hon. Member of the Committee :-28,5001. appeared twice over in the printed subscription lists : if these sums were expunged, there would still remain a surplus over the amount of deposit legally required. Examination continued by Mr. Joy.—Witness repeats that these doubly-entered subscriptions were not reckoned twice : this fact would appear in the subscription list of last year. Witness holds a copy of the subscription contract in his hand; but the original would be requisite for proofs before the Com mittee. Mr. JON applied to the Committee for the original con tract to be produced before the Committee. It should be produced immediately (say to-morrow), and not deferred until th., close of the proceedings of the Committee. Mr. Wood objected to Mr. Joy's application, on the ground that the House had directed that all enquiries relative to sub scription contracts should be referred to the Committee on Standing Orders ; and that the ori g i na l an d copy in question had been proved bfore that Committee to be copies of each other. 11r. Joy contended for the production of the contract, in order to compare it with that of last year, before this Committee. The room was here cleared, when the CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee conceived themselves precluded by the Standing Orders, from requiring the production of the sub scription contract. Examination of witness was resumed by Mr. Joy, relative to" the subscriptions of particular individuals, and the variations in their descriptions, Sze. Mistakes, Nlr. Joy remarked, had evidently taken place in many of these, and the object of Mr. Joy was to prove a multiplication of them, so as to affect the validity of the subscription contract ; which he contended must. from its inaccuracies, mislead the Committee. Th e witness then put in and read a circular letter of his own, and another of Mr. Dunlop, pr i nte d on the same s h eet , relative to a public meeting at Glasgow, whereat the Lord Provost presided, and in which certain resolutions for the furtherance of the Railway were forwarded to those to whom these letters were written. Cross-examined by Mr. Wood —In the subscription contract o f last year no sums of subscription were doubly reckoned. Reexamined by Mr. Joy—Believes everything correct in the subscription lists; and that they are the same as last year. Re-cross-examined —The meeting at Glasgow to which the circular letters put in referred, was a very large meeting, pre sided over by the Lord Provost. The resolutions of that meet ing were signed by about sev e r ity firms, or h ouses o f b us i ness. Believes that number to include the greater part of the respec table houses o f business in that cit y . By the word " respectable" (in answer to an Hon. Memb er) witness means the le a di ng or richer houses. No persanel allusion was intended towards the enera l res p e ctability of th e tra d ers of Glasgow. ‘Pter another discussion as to what parts of the evidence of t h e Report of last year should be read, the Committee ad journed until to-morrow at eleven o'clock. ROMANTIC ADVENTURE.—We can guarantee the authenticity of the following strikingly romantic event :—A distinguished Nobleman of Florence, whose wife was living at Pisa, having learnt that the latter approached the period of her accouchentent, set out for Pisa, escorted by two dragoons. The latter quitter[ him at Pisa, and resuming the road to Flo rence, were overtaken with a violent storm. For some hours they pursued their journey through a perfect hurricane ; but the rain fell so fast, and the night became so dark, that they found it necessary to seek shelter for the night at a solitary form-house, which they perceived at a little distance from the main road. They found there three persons, a husband, wife, and their son, who hospitably received them, and offered them the use of their hay-loft, in which to pass the night. After partaking of a common repast, oaa of the dragoons imme diat fell uly h asleep, and slept soundly. His companion threw himself on the straw dressed as he was, but his sleep was so oppressive that he got up in order to go out and breathe the fresh air. In descending the staircase in order to pass through the ground-floor passage to the door, he heard a great clamour of voices, and approaching cautiously nearer, perceived through the interior door, the corpses of the hus band, wife, and son, who had hospitably received him and his companion, and twelve banditti, armed with sabres and pistols, seated round a table. The dragoon hastily returned to the hay-loft, and awaking his companion, informed him of what be had seen. Having assured themselves that there was no egress but th roug h the passage and door which led into the room where the brigands were assembled, the two dragoons th-ternained on attacking them. Loadin g their muskets they fired sudd en l y i nto the midst o f t h em an d killed four. Then protitting by the atonishment and confusion which this unex pected attack occasioned, they rushed upon them, and with their sabres killed four others. The report of the fire-arms, and the shouts and groans of the combatants, alarmed the in habitants of a little neighbouring village, and several country men having hurried to the scene, assisted the dragoons in capturing the four surviving brigands. They were instantly conveyed to the prison of Pisa, to await their trial.— Con stitutionnel. _ A GOOD EXCUSE.—Some years ago the Isle of Sho.sp v y was considered as but one parish, and, being thinly in hlhited, and the clergyman's salary not very large, he visited them but once a month. This they complained of ; when the Divine sent them word that if they would add ten pounds a year to his benefice, he would come once a fortnight. The farmer s held a meeting to consider the proposition, when it wai unanimously agreed to return for answer—" That if he would abate them ten pounds a year in their tithes, they would excuse him coming at all."—Dover Chronicle. TRADE.—In the manufacturing towns and villages in Ayrshire, trade is at length gradually reviving. Although the tributary streams of trade in the provinces, receive checks simultaneously with the great marts of commerce, they do not rally so soon, remaining dried up till the vigour infused at the fountain head s s l ow ly s p rea d s a l ong their channels. The ma nufacturing population, however, are again in a fair way of re covering, and we earnestly hope their prosperity may be early re-established, and remain permanent. Amongst the agricul tural labourers, more recently, there has also been much dis tresf, which has been borne with patience and modesty, well meriting the philanthropic endeavours of those benevolent bo dies who have, in frequent instances, contributed much to its alleviation.—Ayr Advertiser. THE- WEATHER IN SCOTLAND.—(From the Dumfries Courier.)—Advanced as the season now is, the last was in some respects as rigorous a week as the worst of its predecessors ; and anxious as we were to announce approaching renovation we begin to fear that one of the most lingering winters on record will chill the lap of April at least, should it even leave unscathed, as we still fondly trust it will, her dewy sister May, and thus insure a plentiful crop of fruit. Wednes day last was a bitter day. The guard of the London mail gave a frightful account of the fresh-fallen snows that covered Shap- Fell, and adjoining heights ; and Skiddaw, Saddleback, and Viellvelen indexed sufficiently, by the deepened livery they again wore, the state of matters farther inland. On the Scotch side it was much the same. On Thursday the London and Edinburgh mails arrived late—the first an hour and a half, and the second more than two hours, behind the proper time. From these facts we infer that the roads are again partially blockaded in the South and North-East. On Friday morning when day-light dawned, it was observed that the hills had re ceived a fresh covering of snow. On Saturday Queensberry was whiter than ever ; and though matters has amended some what since, it is obvious we arc not yet done with winter and the calamities it brings in its train. Up to the present time (Tuesday morning) the hills are still white with snow, and though the different mails and coaches arrive and depart pretty regularly, the guards and drivers give a sad account of the state of the roads—east, west, south, and north. CHURCH DISCIPLINE.—A SCENE.—The follow ing rather ludicrous occurrence took place the other Sabbath in the parish church of Airth. A parishioner, whose conduct had not for some time previous been marked with the strictest propriety applied to the minister for baptism to his child. This the Rev. Gentleman, after some hesitation, agreed to grant, acquainting the applicant, at the same time, that his behaviour hardly warranted him in doing so. The man ac cordingly brought forward his child to church on the following Sunday, when, on presenting,; himself at the foot of the pulpit, and preparing to take the child in his arms, he was ordered by the minister to take his stand in front of the pulpit, as he found it his duty, previous to his administering the ordinance, to admonish and reprimand him, on account of the irregular life he had for some time past been leading. Instead, how ever, of complying with the minister's desire, he took up his hat and walked out of the'church, declaring, as some say, he would rather be -- than submit to such treatment. There has been recently discovered in the neigh bourhood of Valenciennes a subterranean road, beginning at Tamars, and supposed to take a direction towards Bavai. It is of the most solid Roman construction ; the descent to it is by from 35 to 40 steps, still en ti re , an d te entrance is about five feet wide. A great number of medals of the Emperors (in good preservation) were found near the spOt not long ago. HEROISM OF A CLERGYMAN.—SeveraI persons worthy of credit have authenticated to us the following event, which has just occurred at the village of Peyrolles (Bouche de Rhone). Two men in shabby apparel presented them selves one evening at the house of the Cure requesting shelter for the night, under the plea that one of them was so over whelmed with fatigue that he could not walk any farther. The Cure readily complied with their request, and assigned them a sleeping apartment. His maid servant shortly after passing the door of the room perceived a brace of pistols lying on the table, and observed that the two travellers, one of whom bad thrown himself on the bed, were consulting to gether in a low voice. Inferring their intentions were cri minal, she immediately proceeded to impart it to her master, who, in consequence barricadoed himself in his chamber, and recommended the servant to do the same. Shortly after. he heard one of his suspicious 'guests trying the lock of his room door, and finding it fast, he knocked, saying his comrade was suddenly taken ill, and requesting the Cure to come and assist in restoring him. The Cure told him to go into the kitchen, where he would find and might prepare all the materials he might require. The man thus baffled, fired his pistol through the door, but the ball luckily missed the Cure, who was out of the line of its direction. The two as sassins then forced the door, and found the Cure prepared to receive them, and provided with a double barrelled gun. The first discharge hit the first assailant in the breast, and laid him dead on the spot. The other was rushing upon him, and re ceived the con t ents o f t h e ot h er barrel, which took similar effect, and, falling upon the body of his companion, he expired shortly after. The consequence of this result is, that the Cure of Peyrolles hos been compelled to appeal to 1113 superior, the Archbishop of Malines, in order to be freed from the interdic tion which every Catholic priest incurs for the fact of taking human life, even in self-defence. —National. An inquest was held by Mr. Shebbear, on the 21st instant, at Cove, in Yatcly, on Henry Sanger, a young man about 22, who had been employed on the railway, and having had several quarrels with a man named Chandler, they agreed to fight it out on Monday. After a contest for three quarters of an hour, Chandler struck deceased a blow or, the head which knocked him down, and he was carried off senseless. The fight took place at Frimley, but no one would take in the de ceased, and he was carried to a house at Cove, where he and his wife lodged, when the occupiers of the house also refused him entrance, although his wife was there, and it was not till sin the afternoon he was taken into his lodging. A surgeon was called in about 11 at night, who bled him twice, but with out relief, and he continued insensible until his death next morning. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Chandler. "—Reading Mercury. Tuesday morning, shortly after eight o'clock, the stupendous arch thrown across the Black Ditch at New-cross, being part of the intended Croydon Railway, fell in with a tremendous crash. Most providentially the workmen, upwards of one hundred, had gone to breakfast a few minutes before, or the loss of life might have been very great. The piles gave way, and the arch instantly fell in ; the surprise of the work men, on their return, may be easily imagined. On Sunday morning the inhabitants of Old Quebec street were thrown into a state of alarm by the attempts whic/t were made by a lodger of No. 13, to commit some bodily in. jury upon the inmates of that house. From an early hour something strange had been observed both in her appearance and manners, and at twelve o'clock lunacy developr,d itself in all its horrors. From that hour, having secured the doors, she paraded the passage, armed with a poker, attempting to strike every one who came within her reach. Upon two police m..!n obtaining admission she ran i nto t h e d i ning-room and commenced breaking the windows, but having ben deprived conveyed to a private rec e p• of her weapon she was speedily tacle for lunatics. We take the following from the Courricr Francais: It is said that the Duke de Nemourc will go to London on the occasion of the coronation of Queen Victoria. Many other Princes will also be assembled in London, and among others the Archduke Albert, eldest son of the Archduke Charles." The same journal says—" 'We are assured that Prine Esterhazy has appropriated from his private purse a sum of a million of florins to defray the expense of his appear ance at the coronation of the Queen of England." Mr. O'CONNLL had a personal interest in this Bill, and that was to arrive as speedily as intended f rom Li verpoo l . _ ( Laughter.) By this Bill it was to take a shorter way, and there would be a saving of about an hour. As to the objection about the navigation of the Mersey, that was a great reason why the Bill should go into Committee, where that and all other objections could be remedied.—(Hear.) Mr. HAWES said, the operation of this Bill would, be to stop the navigation of the Mersey to a considerable. extent. If a bridge were built across the river, it would stop vessels of from 200 to 300 tons burthen, to the amount of Upwards o f 60,000 tons a year. fie doubted if there would be any saving of time. Mr. M. PHILIPS thought to have 'heard some other argument from the Honourable and Learavd Member for Dublin than that which he had given to the House. He bad given him credit for an qnxiety to put forward the interests of the public rather than his own personal convenience and comfort, in his communications. between that capital and Dublin. The bridge would seriously impede the navigation and the river, and would seriously injure if not destroy the Irish coasting trade, as vessels could not. find their way up the river to the town of Warrington, He regretted exceedingly to be obliged to take a hr,stile at titude against the Bill itself, for he would d. O its pro moters the justice to say that there was now'nere a more public spirited body. It had been stated ',..hat four miles :Wove the point where they were about to establish this bridge, another bridge already existed. That bridge impeded the navigation to a certain extent, and if lie (Mr. Philips) had had the honour of a seat in the }louse at that time, he would certainly have opposed it. He objected to the Bill. going into Committee because there was no person to oppose it—they were seeking to protect posterity, and the interests that would hereafter arise, as well as those which already ex isted. If any person looked at the enormous increase which had taken place in the manufacturing- districts in Lan cashire, and would carry back their recollection to fifty years past, they would see that he (Mr. P.) was not seeking to pro tect interests which were not likely to arise. On these grounds he would decidedly oppose tine Bill. Sir H. VERNEY hoped those who were prepared to op pose the Bill would refer to the Vian, and they would find that there were canals on each side of the river by which all mer chandise was carried, and they bad been made because the river was so very shallow that no traffic could be carried on upon it. Ile hoped the House would net be led away by any specious arguments regarding the importance of the Mersey, and oppose a Bill of so much importance to the whole of the country. The bridge was to be 22 feet in height, so That the vessels could easily pass under it by lowering their masts.—( Hear, hear.) He found that during the last year, only six vessels would have been put to any inconvenience by the bridge. We trusted, therefore, the House would send the Bill into Committee. Mr. NV. PATTEN tha.nked the lion. Baronet for some arguments against the 13'111. The canal alluded to did not go to the same place as the liver, and 60,000 tons of merchandise, then carried on the river, would be inconvenienced. lie believed the proprietors did not expect to gain one addi tional passenger by their present line, nor would they derive one single sixpence of remuneration..—(Cries of " Divide.") Lord SANDON supported the seco:id reading, but in eonscquenoe of the loud vies of " Di‘iide, divide" during the whole time the Noble Lord was speaking, we could not hear one single word he said. Mr. A. YA TE S supported t►ie Bill. He thought that no sufficient reason had been assigned why the Bill should not be proceeded with ; and if tb.e amendment of the Hon. Mem ber opposite were persevered in, it would be applying a very clifF,rent principle to this Bill than had been observed with respect to others. Lord FRANCIS F.;GERTON was also in favour of the Bill. He did not mean to say that it was ent;rely free from objection, or that it. would not in some degree be prejudicial to the interests of the town of Warrington ; but he thought the general advantages which would result from the measure would sufficiently counterbalance them. The gallery was then cleared fur a division. The House divided, when ti►e numbers were— For the second reading 2so • For the amendment.. Majority for the second , :eading -148 The Bill was then read. a sccor.d time, and ordered to be committed. On the motion of Mr. Joins, the Brecon Ma-ket Bill was read a third time atra passed. Mr. O'C ONNUL presented forty petitions for the abo lition of negro apprenticeship. Lord MORPETH presented 34 from the West Riding of Yorkshire to the same effect. Mr. M. PHILIPS, Mr. V. SMITH, and Lord DUNGANNON, I resented similar petitions. Mr. HINDLE Y presented petitions from the, Independent Chapels of Ashton-under-Lyne, Hyde, Staley P,ridge, and Sal -1 ford, in favour of Sir G. Strickland's motior,. Mr. BROTHERTON presented forty-two petitions from various parts of Lancashire to the same e,ifect. Similar petitions were presented by Sir G. STRICKLAND, from Yorkshire; by Sir R. PEEL, 11-om Roscrea, in the county of Tipperary; from the Wesleyan Methodist congregation in the City-road ; and from tl . .e borough of Stockport. The Right Hon. Bart. stated thP't when the two last petitions were sent to him he told the petitioners that he could give them no pi .edge as to the part which he would take on this question, and that they had better (intrust them to the hands of some other Member. They had, however, declined doing so, and ho now presented them to the 'route with this qualification; Mr. Grcte rresented 3 petitions from London ; Mr. Gillon 8 from various parts of Scotland ; Mr. Baines four from Leeds ; Lord Ebrington fifteen petitions from various places in Devonshire ; Mr. Hindlev, 26 from various places in Lancashire ; Mr. Vil liers 40 ; Mr. C.
